People either love it or hate it, and media outlets can't hold their analyses of it any longer. It seems every major newspaper, from the New York Times to Chicago Tribune, is writing online about the personal and moral dilemma of these lists, which feature odd, silly, deep and sometimes irrelevant personal facts of Facebook users.

New York Times reporter Douglas Quenqua found that "nearly five million notes on people's profiles have been created in the last week [Jan. 26 - Feb. 2], and many of them are lists of '25 Random Things.'

"The note-creation figure is double the previous week and larger than any other single week in Facebook history, and Facebook executives say that the 'Random Things' craze is driving it.," Quenqua wrote.

"13. And is it Real Tom or Cool Tom who is writing 25 Random Things about 25 Random Things?"

To be honest, I've done a list of 25 things about me on my own Facebook account. I have to agree with Huang - there can be confusion about what to write. My coworkers and editors can see my Facebook account, as well as lots of random people who "friended" me, but who I haven't seen or talked to since high school.

Still, two real-life friends tagged me in their "25 things" notes, so I thought it would be in good form to return the gesture and tell them more about myself.

No matter what you think of the "25 random things" trend, it's hard to ignore how the list has garnered such strong reactions from the World Wide Web.

What about you? Did you make a "25 random things" list on Facebook? Do you think people should keep it to themselves?
